I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and have to leave my rented flat in Abertridwr by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase is progressing. How realistic is it to complete in 4 weeks as don't want to have to find short term accommodation?
The normal practice is not to give notice on a rental unless you have exchanged. If you have not previously done so, speak to your conveyancer and request that they seek the assistance the sellers lawyers, try to a target completion date that everyone will work towards
Should our conveyancer be raising enquiries concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Abertridwr.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors conducting conveyancing in Abertridwr. There are those who acquire a house in Abertridwr, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a number of searches that may be initiated by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can figure out the risks in Abertridwr. The standard information sent to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard question of the owner to determine whether the premises has historically flooded. If flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the owner, then a purchaser may issue a compensation claim as a result of such an incorrect reply. A purchaser’s conveyancers should also carry out an enviro report. This will higlight whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional inquiries will need to be initiated.
Just bought a detached house in Abertridwr , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my ownership? My Abertridwr conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check that my purchase is recorded.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Abertridwr registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. As of today roughly 80% of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the new owner has moved in to the property therefore an expedited registration is not usually top priority yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I am purchasing a new build house in Abertridwr with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not budge the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The estate agent advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about the deal as it may affect my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Am I better off to use a Abertridwr conveyancing solicitor based in the vicinity that I am hoping to buy? An old friend can conduct the conveyancing but his firm is located approximately 350miles away.
The primary upside of using a local Abertridwr conveyancing practice is that you can pop in to sign documents, hand in your ID and pester them if necessary. They will also have local knowledge which is a plus. That being said it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who used your friend and in the main were happy that should outweigh using an unfamiliar Abertridwr conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being Abertridwr based.
I am thinking of appointing a web based conveyancer as opposed to a Abertridwr conveyancing firm. Should I ‘stay local’?

When analysing fees, look carefully for hidden extras. Most decent Abertridwr high street solicitors give an all-inclusive price. Often online companies appear to offer discounted fees, but have hidden 'extras' in the fine print.
